The best part of the coffee maker is that it is programmable. It is really nice to wake up to freshly brewed coffee. The only thing I did not like about this coffee maker is that it has a glass carafe instead of a thermal carafe.

This coffeemaker gets a workout at our house. We brew a minimum of 2 pots of coffee a day. The timer is great because the coffee is there when we get up. This is the 2nd one we have had. But the first did last several years. So..for the price and the constant use - I think it's a good buy

Although I like having a fresh cup of coffee available as soon as I wake up, the quality/durability of this coffee maker is questionable. I had to return my first one after two months and it was replaced for free. The second one lasted about 10 months before it died. I've had better luck with the one I'm currently using as it is still working after 14 months. So why do I keep buying the same model? Well, it brews a good cup of coffee, it costs under $30 and it fits well in under my cabinets. I've looked at other brands, but have not found one that fits into my budget and my kitchen.
